thanks steve, now i don't have to buy your book. or maybe i should, since i still don't have any experience with an RSS feed.
we went pro with blip a year ago, ad revenues quadupled that $90. so fear not. the main reason i can afford to have produced a series is i live in such a remote - cheap - location that no internet service provider really cares that when all the trees leaf out our signal disappears. and i do not own any apple devices, said trees excluded. so, how can i find out if our blip player is actually available to be seen on i-Thingies? i have a sneaking suspicion i have missed a step, the step labeled RSS. --- In [email protected], Robert Millis <mil...@...> wrote: > > Steve is dead on with this, the only thing I would add is that the > Blip player (and many others) may look better on your home page than a > YouTube player, so consider which is more important -- your brand > appearance or numbers seen by YouTube viewers. > > I'd give the Blip player a try before committing. > > > Sent from my Robphone > > On May 30, 2010, at 8:12 AM, "Steve Garfield" > <st...@...> wrote: > > > Hi Simon, > > Sounds like you are making a series. > > > > blip.tv can help. > > > > 1. by default, show the youtube version of a video > > > > Upload once to blip.tv and have blip.tv post a version to youtube > > for you.
